Do i have a sex addiction?

    This is something that has come up for me a fir bit that while i would have always denied, am now wondering if its a possibility. While i have never been into one night stands i masterbate a lot and when i'm with someone i want a lot of sex, pretty much all the time. I enjoy varied sex and trying new things. When i have been having sex and its stops or slows down it does stress me out, i get a few headaches/the shakes/ can't focus / feel like i could get sick.

    I've heard from two or three boyfriends that i was 'abnormal' and they thought there was something wrong with me because i have a high sex drive and i enjoy it so much. Recently i met a great guy who was perfect outside of the bedroom and at the start perfect in,, but he has just called it a day with me because he says while he finds our sex life brilliant its also exhausting, and he finds it stressful knowing that when we go to bed he won't get to sleep for hours and he feels its become a full time job trying to sexually satisfy me and fully believes i have a sex addiction. I don't know what to think, its pretty hurtful to be told more than once that you're abnormal and also that someone considers coming to bed with me to be like a job. He had a lot of compliments about my performance but says he feels too burnt out to continue...

    So i'm starting to look inward, as this is something i've heard a few times and honestly i don't know, but today i feel a bit sick and shakey and really hyper with stress of it. Any advice?

    OP, I have to lock your thread as nobody can tell you from your post whether or not you have a sex addiction, and asking for or offering medical advice is not allowed.

    If you feel like you have a problem your first stop needs to be your GP, who is better qualified than anyone here. Your GP will listen to you and advise you on the next step.

    I wish you all the best,
